Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an industrial process for producing an optically active β-trifluoromethyl-β-hydroxycarbonyl compound which is an important intermediate for medicaments and agricultural chemicals. The process involves a novel asymmetric aldol reaction of stable hydrate or hemiacetal of fluoral with a carbonyl compound using an optically active amino acid or derivative thereof as an asymmetric catalyst. The process has the advantages of simultaneous construction of carbon skeleton and asymmetric induction, high asymmetric induction even with a small amount of catalyst, and recovery of the optically active amino acid or derivative thereof in a high yield. The process is efficient and effective for industrial production of the optically active compound.

Problems solved by technology

However, the processes are not satisfactory as industrial production processes since the asymmetric catalyst used therein is relatively expensive and the processes use fluoral gas which is considerably liable to polymerize.
However, the process requires an equivalent amount of a relatively expensive chiral auxiliary group and also it involves a vexatious step of synthesizing a chiral amine beforehand.

and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. A saturated saline solution was added to the reaction mixture after completion of the reaction and the resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The recovered organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure.
